"No Duh," say senior developers everywhere.

The article explains that vibe code often is close, but not quite, functional, requiring developers to go in and find where the problems are - resulting in a net slowdown of development rather than productivity gains.

Then there’s the issue of finding an agreed-upon way of tracking productivity gains, a glaring omission given the billions of dollars being invested in AI.

To Bain & Company, companies will need to fully commit themselves to realize the gains they’ve been promised.

"Fully commit" to see the light? That.... sounds more like a kind of religion, not like critical or even rational thinking.

Thank you for clarifying. It does align more with the way I would use LLM in my day to day work then, which is quite reassuring.

Even if it doesn't work for me, I can still see the advantage of using AI assistant in those context. In the end, as long as you are doing the work required, the tools you use don't really matters!
